About the Book

Beyond the Ashes (Abingdon Press, June 2015)
Where better to rebuild and face one’s fears than in 1906 San Francisco, a city rising from the ashes?
Ruby Marshall, a young widow, is certain she’ll discover new purpose assisting her brother Robert with his cancer research, but she doesn’t anticipate finding new love.
Dr. Gerald Larkspur dreams of filling his empty home with family, but he’d always hoped it would be a wife and children. In the aftermath of the great earthquake, the rooms are overflowing with extended family and friends left homeless by the disaster. When Robert’s widowed sister arrives, the close quarters seem close indeed.
Ruby and Gerald’s fledgling romance is put at risk when Gerald develops symptoms of the very disease they’re striving to cure. Together they must ask—is it worth a second chance at love when time might be short?

  My review;   I just finished reading "Beyond the Ashes"  by author Karen Barnett and I really enjoyed it. I liked the storyline and the characters were great. This is a nice story of love, faith and the strong belief that everything will be okay. Ruby Marshall finds herself without a husband when he is killed. She moves to another place where her brother is to start over. While there she meets someone that she begins to like. Will they have a future? I was given this book by Litfuse Publicity Group and opinions are 100% my own. I give this book a 4/5.
